A large amount of used needles and condoms were found near a nursery and football pitch in a popular Liverpool park.
The Friends of Wavertree Botanic Park said a member had stumbled across the pile of used needles in the park while litter picking on Sunday, February 26. The organisation posted a number of pictures that showed several needles, condom wrappers and clear plastic bags.
The organisation's Instagram page said the rubbish had been found in the maintenance area of the gardens. A spokesperson wrote: "Another syringe with the needle was found and removed, together with 50 cigarette butts in the car park. The syringe was carefully handled and put in a coffee cup closed with its lid and placed in a bin."
